Mashl Leads Wire-To-Wire In Luxemburg IMCA Mod Main
Lacrosse Nails Down Division Title
by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) Aug. 26 - De Pere's Mike Mashl led every lap and survived
numerous caution periods to win the $1,000 Tyler De Noble Memorial 24 lap IMCA
modified feature at Luxemburg Speedway Friday night. The victory was Mashl's
first of the season.
By qualifying for the main event hometown driver Benji LaCrosse captured his
first division track championship.
A total of 33 IMCA modifieds were on hand, along with 37 IMCA stock cars, 16
IMCA hobby stocks, 30 street stocks, 16 sport fours and six Lady 4's.
Mashl started the event from the pole position, and never relinquished the top
spot. He was challenged late in the race by the uncle/nephew combination of
Scott Mullen and Mike Mullen, who placed second and third, respectively. Randy
LeMieux Jr. took fourth while Jared Siefert rounded out the top five
finishers.
Pulaski's Rod Snellenberger passed early race leader Jesse Colwell to take the
lead on lap 10 and fought off Shawn Kilgore in the closing laps to win the 22
lap IMCA stock car feature. By virtue of his runnerup finish Kilgore garnered
enough points to win the division's track championship, his second straight
title. Charlie Kroll took third, followed by Jason Czarapata and Jamie
Colwell, who had a one point lead heading into the night. Colwell cut a tire
in his heat and was forced to qualify into the feature through one of two
consolation races.
Appleton's Dave Hoerning led every lap and survived three caution periods to
capture the 18 lap street stock feature. With his second place finish Sturgeon
Bay's Aaron Thornton captured the street stock points championship. Second
place points sitter Von Eychenson placed third in the feature, followed by
Fred Davister and Joe Johnson.
Lomira's Jesse Kanas captured the 18 lap caution free IMCA hobby stock main.
The win was his third of the season. Illinois' Tony Schlei placed eighth in
the main, earning him the division's points title, his first ever at
Luxemburg.
Bonduel's Greg Banker captured both the 15 lap sport four feature, along with
the division's track championship. Shawano's Holly Welch won her first 10 lap
Lady 4 feature while Seymour's Amanda Johnson won the division track title.
. There will be no racing next Friday night, September 2. A $1,000-to-win, 35
lap IMCA modified feature sponsored by U & I Express Movers will highlight
action during a special race on Thursday night, Sept. 1 beginning at 7 p.m.
IMCA stock cars, hobby stocks and sport fours will also be in action. Bonus
money will be thrown into the other divisions. This will be a state and
national IMCA points race, with a draw/redraw format being used. For more
